SAN FRANCISCO Sam Mendes, Oscar-winning director of American Beauty, will make his advertising debut next week with eBay spots from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, the client confirmed.

The director, who produced the package through Los Angeles-based production company Moxie Pictures, has filmed three spots for the online auction site, according to eBay vice president of consumer marketing Gary Briggs.

Mendes, a veteran of the Broadway and London stage who directed the Tony-winning production Cabaret, was a good fit for the musical campaign, said Briggs.
